    What computer program translates spoken word, to text? My child is excellent when dictating thoughts and ideas, but, can't express these thoughts using pencil and paper. Typing using the regular keyboard is very difficult.

    Is there a computer monitor with "built-in" sensors that provide activating computer programs with a finger-tip, rather than using a regular mouse?
